Re: I/O presets
No, I wanted to save my final presets so that I can load the basic bench test presets to test the drives. Then later, I can load the presets with all the needed I/O

I/O presets
I am starting the conversion of a machine to Acorn/CNC12. I am using an Ethernet 1616 board. In the Wizard, I can build the inputs and outputs. The system sees the 1616 and jumper testing shows it is working. I want to save this preset and load a simpler preset to start doing the basic bench test ...

Location of home switch
I am retrofitting a cnc router. Currently, the Y home switch is located at Y- at the front of the machine. I want the home switch to be at the Y+ back of the table. The machine has an ATC rack at the back. Should I locate the Y home switch so it is just the protected work area of the table and have ...

Re: Probing capabilities
I’m just getting into the conversion. As I look at the setup screen, I only see a selection for probe and tool touch. How did you configure all three?
TIA

Probing capabilities
I am about to pull the trigger on converting a Chinese router to Acorn and CNC12 Router. Before ordering, I want to know more about its probe capacity. The machine has an ATC with a fixed tool measure sensor. I would like to use a KP-3 for “one off” setups. Finally, I would like a touch-off sensor ...

Router vs Mill software
If this is in the wrong place, my apologies.
Some years ago, I converted a mill/turn machine to Acorn and centrinics. It’s a combination machine so I purchased both mill and lathe software licenses. It is awesome products.
I just purchased an industrial level CNC router from China. It is very well ...

Re: Spindle encoder error
Can you tell from looking at the log if a setting is keeping it from displaying RPM now? I re-enabled encoder and ridged tapping but the rpm reading didn’t come back on.

Re: Spindle encoder error
In order to recreate the issues, I opened the wizard and enabled the spindle encoder and ridged tapping. I saved it and restarted CNC12. I ran a program and it didn't throw the error. However, I don't think it is really using the encoder because when I turn or run the spindle, the RPM display now ...
